Day Trip To Hollywood California
|
Hollywood
California is visited by tourists from all over the
world. For out of state travelers Hollywood is always one
of the first places they think about when they plan a vacation
to Southern California. Daytrippen.com decided to take a drive
to the world famous location and see what all the fuss is
about. Most of the activity revolves around Grauman's
Chinese Theater on Hollywood
Boulevard. This is where the Star line buses pick up and drop
off for the various tours and most Hollywood attractions are
located within walking distance of the theater. Downtown Hollywood
is under going a makeover with with new buildings popping
up and old buildings being renovated. Sidewalk vendors hawking
maps to the stars homes and look-alike celebrities trying
to get you to take a picture are still there but Hollywood
is much improved. The foot prints of the stars in the courtyard
of Grauma's are really fascinating and the walk of stars along
Hollywood boulevard is a great place to take a photo next
to the star of your favorite Hollywood movie personality.
Hollywood attraction include Madame
Tussauds Hollywood, Hollywood Wax Museum, Guinness World
Records and of course tours of movie star homes. Hollywood
and Highland is a modern multi-story shopping mall next to
Grauman's
Chinese Theater. The mall is a good
choice to have lunch or dinner and is set back from busy Hollywood
Boulevard. Plan on spending at least
a half day visiting Hollywood. If you decide to see more than
one attraction CityPass is a good way to save plus you get
a map and other discounts. |
